Popular gaming-inspired bean bag pulled from Target shelves over severe safety risk
A popular PAC-Man gaming beanbag has been urgently taken off shelves after failing to adhere to safety standards.
The bright yellow PAC-Man styled beanbag cover, which is used for gaming and available for purchase at Target stores and online across the country, has been recalled due to a lack of correctly-displayed safety warning tags.
'The product does not comply with the mandatory standard for beanbags,' the ACCC said in a statement.
'The required safety warning labels are not displayed correctly.'
The ACCC said there was a severe risk of injury or death from suffocating or choking if young children access the polystyrene filling or try and climb inside the beanbag.
It was available for purchase between March 30 2025 and May 14 2025, was sold by Plan B International Hong Kong Limited and has the Target keycode 70744552.
The ACCC has urged customers to 'stop using the product immediately' and keep it out of reach of young children.

Alleged Alameddine gangster Ali Elmoubayed targeted in Merrylands shooting
Don't miss out on the headlines from Police & Courts. Followed categories will be added to My News. Remarkable video footage has emerged of the dramatic chase and arrest of three men accused of shooting up a home linked to an alleged Sydney gangland figure. The shooting happened about 9.20am, with police officers called to the Earl St home in Merrylands in the city's west. Bullets were fired at the house, but nobody was inside at the time. Ali Elmoubayed, an alleged member of the Alameddine enterprise, is linked to the address but dodged the shooting after reportedly leaving beforehand for the Parramatta Magistrates Court to request a change of bail address. A short time later, a burning Porsche was located in Beverley Crescent in Chester Hill, NSW Police said. NSW Polair captures a burning car on the streets of western Sydney. Picture: NSW Police The three men tried to escape in a blue Hyundai. Picture: NSW Police 'The group left Chester Hill in a Hyundai before being arrested on McMahon Rd in Yagoona trying to flee from police on foot,' police said in a statement. 'They remain in police custody.' Footage captured by the NSW Police chopper unit shows the Porsche burning in the street, with black smoke billowing out across the western Sydney suburb. Police officers then track the blue Hyundai as it races through the streets. The three men, aged 20, 22 and 24, abandon the vehicle and try to run away, but are quickly apprehended by officers in the backyards of homes. The shooting has been referred to Taskforce Falcon and crime scenes have been established at both locations. The men abandoned their car and tried to run away on foot.

Taskforce Falcon Commander Detective Superintendent Jason Box addressed the media in the afternoon and said the shooting had the potential to be fatal. 'There's always the possibility it could be fatal, or someone seriously injured,' he said. He said he expected the men to be charged with firearms offences alongside other possible offences. Superintendent Box added the police had not yet found anything to suggest the three men were 'affiliated or part of an organised crime network'.
